Very well explained. Appreciate it! 💗

Watching this for the 1st time shortly after the 2024 election and the darkness, anger and hopelessness that followed. Just the antidote I needed. Thank you.

In the light of what God has done for us in Christ this is a heap of dung which will be burnt to ashes before your eyes Rob. You will be saved because God loves you to much to leave you there. Turn back to Jesus Christ and Him crucified so you can be a living, Holy Spirit- filled testimony of Christ in us, the hope of glory!

I think you are not a christian, but a shaman or a buddhist or new age or something, but not christian.

The best of the feel good false prophets… wow! A true sign of these last days 😢

This was so good for like the first hour or hour 20ish…. Then just devolves into total nonsense, especially towards the end… turns into a bunch of “aligning yourself with the direction of the universe” crap. Which is extremely disappointing because that entire introduction there were so many amazing parallels and hints towards God, but he only hints at it as “what some people call it”. He sites scripture, and alludes to God and Jesus, but then completely abandons Him for a bunch of “the universe” nonsense

When Jesus was alone, the twelve asked him about the parables. And he said to them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables, so that they may indeed see but not perceive.”

I've been watching this man for almost a decade and he has Never missed. ty rob you're my inspiration to keep pushing on.

Dig deep breaths and lots of “hold up did I hear that right.”

After listening to dozens of RobCasts, I never knew this guy was such a goofball, had me chuckling a bunch of times. LOVE IT!!!!

What is going on with you?

I still remember the great man who preached biblical truth. I hope you come back to that.

I needed this! I love Rob. He is a wise man.

41:45 where did you get this idea that this thing should be something other than what it is? Bible is truth. God is the word and the word is God. Pray for this man. “But false prophets also appeared among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬ “For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭3‬ ‭

Meaningless!! Utterly meaningless😂

4:17 and I’m already all in.

I was at this recording, it was amazing!

Thank you for your introduction to joy! May we discover this joy in the place we are today.

I know that this was spoken in the context of projects and more career or hobby oriented work. But.....this also describes what I do in relationships. I hold on to the goal for dear life, even when it is obvious that the other person isn't working towards it at all, aren't meeting their own role. "What was once a goal can become a fog." "There's this thing that I do," a role that comes along with specific goals. I was a wife for a long time. I was a good wife. I'm not anymore. Not in the role. "What was once a goal can also later be in the way of the new thing; we dismiss the new creation..." Interesting.

I do love the absurdity & poetry of Oh Thit. 😂 I heard about this statue in an audiobook, and I had envisioned a version of Babyface when you described it on your desk. Parts were edited out of the book, including "oh thit," because I think I would have remembered that. Now I have stumbled across the story detailing where you found it and more connections the piece has in this world. Babyface is not what I imagined, but I find myself pleased to know what "the real" Babyface looks like. How funny and strange and wonderful. 😊❤

This man is the result of somebody creating their own God and committing idolatry. Went from a pastor to supporting homosexuality, swearing and crude talking, making fun of the Bible. He now speaks of Jesus as some friend that hangs out with you while you sin and somehow that makes Jesus happy. Jesus is holy and perfect and hates sin. Folks PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read your Bibles so that these men don't deceive you

Thank you Rob Bell. Your work made a different in my life and I am grateful for you!

Did we really swap the Holy Spirit for "pings"? 🤦‍♀️

Wow😲

This is utter and complete nonsense. Anyone that listens to this and is duped by this stupidity I feel sorry for. The whole thing is based of a very WRONG assumption and characterization of the formation of the universe and he uses that to justify all the other nonsense. Particles bond together because of nuclear forces, atoms to other atoms through covalent bonds by sharing electrons, Molecules through chemical bonds. Those are NOTHING like emotional bonds that humans use to "connect" together. They're the same words with completely different meanings and he has to obfuscate that fact to make anything he says work. And Dissimilar atoms bond together all the time. What is this nonsense about "Similar essensce and substance" Have you ever heard of WATER? It's oxygen bonding with hydrogen. That's not similar at all. What the hell even is "essence". That's just woo nonsense.

Brother, where have you been?

I love this. Reminds me of a wonderful essay/article on Todd Williams and Billie Tsien’s website (architects) called “on slowness”. Loving the process, letting go of control, appreciating how the design reveals itself

Rob Bell re-works and re-configures the Biblical Jesus to be an amalgamation of who Rob Bell wants Him to be. To really know Jesus Biblically, just pick up the Bible and READ first. Then, you'll be able to weigh Rob Bell's Jesus with the REAL, authentic Jesus.

Nice man. This is great. My old man is a big time drinker, sometimes fun, sometimes not so much. When I think about him though it's this photo of him holding me as a newborn, and his eyes are wet with tears of clear joy. We been through alot together, and despite all the tension and issues we caused one another, that's what I would show someone if they wanted to know who he was at his core.

So sorry for your loss rob lost my father two years ago it never gets easier

My friend walked away from the faith after listening to this man

Dude. What are you smoking?

I heard this about 10 years ago, I just realized you explained the Ship Of Theseus in your boat example. Cool stuff!

Is rob bell even in here? I want to know how to get my favorite book signed? Velvet Elvis

Dude total hair transplant 😂

Only 14 likes, oh good, phew . The majority don't like this (rightly). We don't like ANY of his stuff for that matter .

You're no Pastor in God's eyes. What you are is a false teacher.

Heretic

I have watch this like a hundred times. What amazes me is that he doesn't tell you what you should feel. He helps u feel it while taking about it. In context, we just heard an hour plus long sermon and wanted more. This is Rob Bell's gift, what he can do with the Bible. He reignited my passion back when I was in seminary.

Not a big fan of Rob Bell, but I'm praying for his loss?

Every time, I watch, flurries ensued. Just a wild, wide eye joy.

Heretic

Its f****ed ip what they did to him at Mars Hill

Pretty sure his 10 minutes of fame are up.

An elderly couple is at the entrance of a restaurant. The man says "I'm so old I can't remember if I just came in or I'm now leaving" The woman says "well, are you hungry?". "Yes, I guess we just showed up!". Science sees the universe unfolding and thinks "It came from simplicity to complexity". The Bible says God made everything perfect and it's slowly rotting away. I wonder who's right? The cosmic, eternal eyewitness/creator with a limitless perspective, or the creatures who seem to believe they just showed up five minutes ago whilst also believing they have all the answers. 🤔

I love one of his book but I was disappointed about his view on same sex relationship regarding the Bible.

Rob, Life changing and joyous. We need more of this in our lives.

This is true..... I would quit saying "yeahhh." Makes you come off as crazy. Bad habit. Like say "ummm."

The ramblings of a man with a debased/reprobate mind. Please stop this foolish talk, repent and believe the gospel. You’ve done so much damage to the church that you need to take ownership of.

Hello pastor Rob, I used to sit on the floor of the airplane hanger with you when I was a boy. I pray for you sir. I hope you are blessed and well, In the name Jesus 🙏 I miss you brother -
